HP OpenVMS Systems

Reboot (always) requires AUTOGEN?

After upgrading to VMS 7.2 I always get a request to run AUTOGEN
whenever the system needs to be rebooted or restarted. How can I remove this?

The Answer is :

How? By resetting the system parameter value that is considered to
be insufficient, and specifically by editing MODPARAMS.DAT and then
(re)running AUTOGEN.
The OpenVMS Wizard will guess this is DECwindows that is triggering
the request -- there was a case where the parameter value the check
required was greater than the corresponding update that was made to
the parameter setting -- and thus you can examine the particular
system parameter requirements of DECwindows by the unsupported (but
very simple) technique looking at a component file of the DECwindows
startup:
SYS$STARTUP:VMS$DECW_CHECK_PARAMS.COM
You could also read the documentation for system parameter requirements
for the various installed products, as products other than DECwindows
can trigger a requirement for specific parameter settings.
